Ari Shaffir

Comedian Ari Shaffir brings his stand-up show to Dublin this November.

Stand-up comedian, podcaster and actor Ari Shaffir describes his comedy as a puppet show--but way filthier and without the puppets. The New York native grew up Orthodox Jewish, spent 2 years in a yeshiva in Israel, and came back to America to lose his religion and become a comic. LA Weekly has called Shaffir "a gifted unyielding comic...a real force to be reckoned with."

Shaffir released two Netflix specials called Double Negative which is presented in two 45-minute episodes called Children and Adulthood.

Shaffir created and hosted the storytelling show, This is Not Happening, which aired on Comedy Central for 3 seasons. In 2016, Shaffir co-starred with Zach Galifianakis, Gal Gadot and Jon Hamm in Twentieth Century Fox's comedy Keeping Up With The Joneses.

In the past 5 years, Shaffir has released 3 standup specials. The Double Negative special on Netflix and two specials on Comedy Central entitled Paid Regular and Passive Aggressive. Prior to these popular specials, Shaffir's standup album Revenge for the Holocaust went to #1 on both iTunes charts and Amazon.com the week of its premiere. Ari continues to perform standup to sold-out crowds nationwide and has been featured at Montreal's prestigious Just for Laughs Festival, San Francisco SketchFest, SXSW, the Edinburgh Comedy Festival, The Moontower Comedy and Oddity Festival.
